Truth

Violet

I was an awkward hot mess all day every day. I wasn’t good at peopling. I kept my interactions with others to a minimum, but sometimes it was unavoidable like the time I met him. He made me feel like I wasn’t as weird as I’ve always felt I was. I came alive around him. A simple touch and I was shivering in the best possible way with intense, unfamiliar feelings. He demanded truth from me, but I was afraid to reveal that much of myself.

I owned my own tattoo shop with one of my brothers, leaving my mark on people’s skin daily. I’ve encountered diverse types of people. I met her, and she was by far my favorite brand of different. I was mesmerized by her. Her honesty and innocence called to me. When I was with her, I couldn’t stop myself from touching her. I wanted her, all of her. I gave her my truth and asked for hers in return. The question was, would she give it to me?
